Description
Consider the following classdef snippet:
classdef Foo
properties (Access = {?OtherClass})
Bar
end
end
This does not syntax highlighting correctly in the MATLAB extension for VS Code. Attempting to inspect the tokens and scopes on line 2 or below never returns.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported MATLAB classdef snippet in the MATLAB extension for VS Code and inspect the grammar rules handling properties with an Access list. Verify the token and scope inspection behavior on line 2 and below; done means the snippet receives correct syntax highlighting and inspection returns tokens and scopes.
